Changed PO-changes not printing

Hello,  Can anyone tell me where in configuration (if it's config at all) can control when the messages print on a changed PO?  For example,  we make a change to quantity, and click on 'change PO'. It will generate an output, however when we print, it will print the change of quantity but no message that the quantity is changed. There seems to be a disconnect between the message and the form.  All of the change texts are there so they should pass to the form. What would cause this to not happen?

Any help or if there is a manual available somewhere that would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

If you want to trace the changes in PO. then you can activate the Version management in Po,

every time you change in PO system will prompt for the new version if previous version is completed,

Please check following link

Version Management - Purchasing (MM-PUR) - SAP Library

you can also set up to print the changed fields in fields relevant to printout changes in messages

You are probably using your companies own form and eventually even a own print program instead of the SAP given print program.

If you have such a  problem, then you should turn your settings to SAP standard and test how it works. If SAP standard works well, then the problem must be with your own developments.

Thank you. How do we change the settings? Is this on the technical side or on the configuration side?  We do use our own form with a Smart Form.

Form and program are assigned in transaction NACE (or just go into the IMG transaction OLME and there to messages) This is usually done by the application consultant.

But to be honest, a change form that just prints that the quantity was changed without telling the new quantity, is nonsense and cannot be send to the vendor except you want become a laughing stock at your vendor.

So you would not even need a test as common sense is already telling you that this can only be caused by a faulty own development

Thank you again.  It will print the changed quantity, but if there is no message then the vendor won't know what was changed. Also if a line is deleted, there will be no message 'item deleted'.  That's where there is a disconnect.  I will review this with our ABAP person.

What do you really get:

a change PO

or

only a new print of the original with changed data?

The latter case is actually customizing and many times explained in SCN. Please search

We get a PO that says 'Changed Purchase Order'  and only displays the line items that were changed.  We also need to pull the messages onto the form and that's what is not happening.

that is a task for your developer, you could show him how it is in standard by exchanging the customizing back to SAP standard. A clever developer should find it from the source code anyway, as I assume that he copied SAP's original and then changed it to your own design. Maybe it is just caused overlapping fields which hides other content
